How are you really doing?

Hari Om from the hot hot hot Rishikesh.

It's about 37 degrees celsius here and summer is not my friend... I spend my days mainly inside - underneath the never stopping fan - reading, writing, and watching movies in between sessions. And of course cooking- alas not one of my favorite tasks!- and taking care of the street dogs that now more than ever need food and water.

Manly i feel at peace and content, i get to do what i love in a safe environment, i have more time to myself and i finally get to tackle the many books i have collected over the past months.

There are days, though that i feel the pressure of what is going on in the world, how we are all shifting- in one way or another, whether we like it or not- how the earth is finally breathing and the animals are reclaiming their habitat. Something had to happen, because what we we were doing as a collective group of humans was not working for the greater of all: that's for sure!

There is so much info on social medias these days that it's impossible to follow and i believe counterproductive in keeping one's sanity. So much anger, opinions, statistics, who said what and who didn't, left, right, conspiracy theory and so on. If you know the truth in your heart, if you stay connected to you and the highest version oh who you are this info is all irrelevant; it clouds your inner knowing. So beware of who you listen to, who you follow, toward whom or where you direct your energy, because as you know "where energy goes attention goes." And where do you wish to direct your attention? Have you asked your self this, lately?

Several of you have have asked me, "how not to stress during these times? How not yto succumb to anxiety and fear?" My answer is always the same :)

. have a daily practice - physical movement, meditation, mantra chant-

. dance, listen to music

. stay in nature (when you can)

. relax, be kind to yourself

. don't believe everything you think

. have proper sleep

. surround yourself with uplifting humans - who believe in you, who support you, who are there for you no matter what-

. give yourself permission to feel what you feel without judging yourself

. forgive -yourself and others-

. "accept the present moment as if you had chosen it" to quote Eckhart Tolle

I know if you have practiced with me at all you have heard me say these over and over again. Yes, because over the years of my own personal struggles, thorough my studies, and learning from different masters and sadhus i have understood and experimented that this is the formula to live in a perpetual state of inner peace without being the victim of circumstances.

The moment you heal yourself you heal those around you. The moment you begin to do your inner work you avoid hurting others. And no, it's not going to be easy, yet it needs to be done to not waste this human birth.

What better time to start than right now where you are with what you have?

So my question to you is,

How are you doing?

I mean how are you really doing? 

And if you can't answer this from your heart, without maybe shedding a tear or two ... let's talk.

Much love to you.
